Not only that, I can't find the bookmarks. I can use the existing ones, but I can't seem to get to them to move them into the folder I want them in. All I can see now is folders, but not the content. But looking at this Google Chrome, there are a couple of things that bother me. First is that EULA thing - > "give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and > nonexclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, > publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which > you submit, post or display on or through, the Services." That almost looks like they're laying claim to any photos that anyone views using the Chrome browser. I don't like that AT ALL! The other concern is more mundane. I don't search in the address bar. That's what search engines are for. The address bar is so I can enter a URL I already know and be done with it. Firefox seems to have this "search in the address bar" feature, but you can (so far) turn it off. My first glance at Chrome seems to indicate it can't be turned off; the address bar IS the search engine. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
